Ingredients

• 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 cups Green cabbage
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 piece Garlic clove
• 1 piece Jalapeño (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and brush them lightly with olive oil on both sides.

Step 4

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets.

Step 5

Place the tilapia fillets on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly charred. Keep them warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, combine shredded green cabbage, red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Toss until evenly mixed.

Step 8

In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, garlic clove, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to reach your desired consistency. Season with salt to taste.

Step 9

Assemble the tacos by placing a piece of grilled tilapia in each tortilla, topping with the cabbage slaw, and drizzling with the avocado sauce.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, flavorful grilled tilapia tacos!
